tv   Studio B With Shepard Smith  FOX News  November 3, 2011 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT

12:00 pm
crime. >>megyn: he worked with children with autism and he got a letter from the social services department saying he could not work with kids any longer because he pursues danger. not with the children. come on! thank you for watching. here is shepard. >>shepard: that was creepy, megyn. >>megyn: fired and cannot work with kids on his downtime? >>shepard: you are the best, megyn. the news begins anew, in "studio b," greece, my gosh, good grief, i'll take mykonos, on the brink of financial collapse. it is very serious. we will tell what you could happen. a woman who pretended to be her ex-boyfriend using his facebook page and all the things she wrote. criminal charges with us. why the case could democrat how the court fines online crime and violence breaking out on the streets of oakland, california. but many of the protesters say
12:01 pm
it is just a small group that is causing trouble. it is all ahead unless breaking news changes everything. on "studio b" but first from fox at 3:00, in new york, president obama today in france where leaders of the 20 largest economies are working to prevent nothing short of the economic collapse of europe. a disaster which would have devastating effects in the united states. the so-called g-20 meets to discuss the global economy but this year's meeting overshad dead by the european debt crisis and the center of it is greece. that nation's miserable financial situation led to riots and threatened the economic stability the entire eurozone. how could it affect all of us? and, today, president obama did not lay out any plan for the united states to help the situation but keep in mind if the mess in europe jumps over here and our economy gets worse, that could hurt the president
12:02 pm
politically. and now wendell is traveling with the president in cannes, france. what is up? >>reporter: folks have said not administration that the euro crisis is one of the head winds keeping the u.s. economy from creating more jobs and growing faster. folks say it is europe's version of the 2008 wall street meltdown only this time it is government instead of commercial beens facing bankruptcy. the president made clear to european leaders they have to resolve the crisis which is as big as the wall street meltdown without significant u.s. financial contribution. >> this will be a busy two days and how do we put people back to work so we have to resolve the situation here in europe.
12:03 pm
>>reporter: that is unlikely to happen in two days or even two months. greece is not the only country that is threatening the eurozone and it is possible that italy, spain, and perhaps portugal's government could face these problems. >>shepard: the prime minister has had a change of heart on this plan to hold a referendum. what is the deal? >>reporter: well, you mean the greek prime minister? he is not even a member of the g20 but chance lore -- chancellor merkel and sarkozy invited haddism to cannes and read him the riot act and wanted papandreou that greece would not get next week's loan payment to cover government salaries and pensions until the budget cuts he agreed to were approved. the french president sarkozy called it electric shock treatment. >> that is where we can go, this
12:04 pm
is the extent to which we can go and we will not go further than that. >> still not clear that papandreou can deliver the reforms, the austerity measures. his government faces a vote of no confidence tomorrow, if it lasts that long. >>shepard: thank you, wendell. and now back to the financial mess in greece. the country probably has not been this globally important since the days socrates. how will that affect our in50ments in the 401(k)'s? and gerri is here with us from the willis report. i am confused what the greeks think they are doing? >>gerri: i am not sure i can answer. what professional investors are trying to figure out each day and it changes minute-by-minute and our stock market moves minute to minute. the good news is stocks trading higher because there is some hope out there that a resolution will be sought and found. stocks up 187 points and the dow
12:05 pm
up which is great news but as the end of the day what is interesting the exposure of u.s. citizens to some of this, maybe less than you thing, just 2 percent of 401(k)'s assets are invested overseas, and what is not understood so well by individual investors your s&p 500 companies that everyone is invested in are all invested overseas with money in european banks and they do business overseas, and, of course, money market mutual friends largely invested not in this country but in debt overseas especially in europe, more than 30 percent of that money. >>shepard: i keep thinking merkel and sarkozy will figuratively kick the greeks in the face saying this is how it is or you are out. >>gerri: they extend a hand and today they have discussions to bring them on board, right? i don't understand why this continues, either. the e.u. is a mystery to an
12:06 pm
american who is not use to that kind of cooperation but at the end of the day the greeks are small potatoes compared to, say, france, or germany. a small country. it is their debt which is so huge that $480 billion or so euros is so big it threatens all of us. >>shepard: been to santorini? >>gerri: i should go back now. >>shepard: if they go back to the drachma, you can drink cheap beer. >>gerri: i'll drink beer any time. >>shepard: switch over to the gerri willis for fascinating business news. and there were 397,000 new applications for jobless benefits, which is 9,000 fewer than the week before, and only
12:07 pm
the third time it has fall be below 400,000 mark since the month of april. and we are told it means businesses are laying off fewer workers. so good news. fox news is america's election headquarters and a lot of finger-pointing in the wake of the herman cain sexual harassment scandal and backtracking. the campaign accused rick perry's staffer, i, kirk andersn of leaking the story of sexual harassment. this guy, anderson, used to work for cain as an advisor on the 2004 senate bid but, today, on fox he denied he leaked anything about the story and said cain never told him of the allegation. >> all this stuff about would leaked whatever, any reporter in the free world is free to tell anything to anybody that i've ever said to them about herman cain. i have nothing to hide and i have affinity for the guy.
12:08 pm
>>shepard: is nobody listening? it is clear who started telling this information: herman cain did it back in 2004. he said so yesterday. hello? the chief staff tells fox news until he gets the facts he will take anderson at his word but regardless of how the story got out which could have been from herman cain who add mights he told it, come on, it does not appear to be going anywhere and a third woman says years ago he was aggressive and inappropriate with her and that at the time she considered filing a harassment compliment. and now, like from washington, but it is herman cain who says that herman cain told the story. i don't know where all the weirdness is surrounding this. herman cain did it. >>reporter: and charles krauthammer was the first to point that out. you saw him last night on special report, flatout blaming the rick perry campaign and staffer kirk anderson of leaking the story that two women accused
12:09 pm
him of sexual harassment in the 1990's and today another about face, with megyn kelly on american live less than 24 hours after that, mark block, withdrew his accusation about anderson. and the perry camp. here he is. >> all of evidence we had and what has transpired in the last two weeks led us to mr. anderson being the source. we were absolutely thrilled that he came on your show and said that it wasn't because mr. cain always had the utmost respect for him. i'm going to do the same thing that mr. anderson has done and move on and talk about issues and get off of this silliness. >>reporter: that is a shift, now, as the perry camp blamed the romney camp. perry communications director was saying he would not put it past the romney cain knowing the successor at national successor at the restaurant association has contributed to romney and romney called that "not true."
12:10 pm
>>shepard: this is like kids running for student council. what a clown show! >>reporter: sorted of like a firing squad in many respects and today we had the attorney bennett who represented one of the restaurant association employees, and has accused cain, wants to wake the clients confidentiality. here is bennett. >> i will send by e-mail this morning to the restaurant association's tone, a draft statement of my client's position for the restaurant association's agreement for release notwithstanding the confidentiality clause of the 1999 settlement agreement. i having in to add until i hear back from the restaurant association's attorney. >>reporter: now he has heard back, a statement said in part, we are currently reviewing the document and we plan to respond
12:11 pm
tomorrow. could be a sleepless night for herman cain. >>shepard: i cannot imagine it will matter in the long run but thanks so were. dozens of witnesses and 22 days of testimony about how michael jackson died the prosecution and the against in the dr. conrad murray are trying to wrap it up in a neat package for the jury. closing arguments and analysis from our legal freaks coming up. that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm [ male announcer ] for half the calories -- plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. i find investments with e-trade's top 5 lists and use pre-defined screeners to work smarter. not harder. i depend on myself to take charge of my financial future.

12:14 pm
>>shepard: closing arguments in the trial of dr. conrad murray, with the prosecution claiming he gave michael jackson a deadly dose of propofol and today the prosecutor said remember michael jackson's three children. >> the evidence in this case is abundantly clear. dr. conrad murray acted with criminal negligence. that dr. conrad murray caused the death of michael jackson,
12:15 pm
that dr. conrad murray left prints and -- three children without a father. >> we are waiting for the defense lawyers to give a closing argument claiming michael jackson took the dose on his own without the doctor's knowledge. both sides have wrapped up the respective cases after calling a total of 49 witnesses and presenting hundreds of pieces of evidence and it will be up to the seven men and five women who are sitting in the jury box to determine whether dr. conrad murray is guilty. and now, adam, what else do we hear from the crowd today? >>reporter: the prosecution has been giving closing argument, now, for about two hours, and he has 30 minutes longer than the judge wanted but he just told the jury he will wrap up any time and we have a look inside as he wraps up the argument. he has been hammering out their case, laying out they believe on 17 different occasions dr. conrad murray made mistakes and he dismantled the defense case,
12:16 pm
showing that their defense expert was selling them junk science when he took the stand. all along he hits the theme that dr. conrad murray violated that trust between a patient and his doctor. take a listen. >> for services rendered. not for proper medical care. not for the sake of doing no harm. this relationship of trust that is so important between a doctor and a patient was grossly corrupted. >> that gives you an idea of the theme inside of what he has been hammering out, day 23 of the time, spread out over six weeks. >>shepard: i have been watching the circus behind you and now the clowns are in town i hear. >>reporter: we, give you a close up look because the people have been coming out here toward the end of the trial were wrapping up, and the numbers are swelling, again, and i will tell
12:17 pm
you malaysia is demanding justice. each day there is a different flag demanding justice and someone has been paying for a plane to fly over the courthouse every sunny day which we have had all sunny days but two with a different place in the world demanding justice and we are trying to figure who would pay that money to fly a plane over the courthouse but someone is doling out the money. >>shepard: thank you, adam. so, closing arguments time. either cop hating lawyers who were here yesterday. you said it. >>arthur: i represent more police officers than probably most defense attorneys in this city. >>randy: and i am having breakfast with one tomorrow. >>shepard: oh, i have a friend who is black. >>arthur: behave. >>shepard: i got e-mails from friends. >>arthur: i got face booked. >>shepard: good, you deserve it. >>shepard: i want to get them
12:18 pm
to give us closing arguments. for the defense, counselor, proceed. reason are, you look at dr. conrad murray he is presumed innocent. how did the propofol get into michael jackson's body and when. and only then can you answer who and the prosecution has given you everything. but the answers to those two questions. they have not told you how. they have not told you when they have not told you who. and don't take my word for it, their own expert can't tell you who. it's an act that was so insanely off the chart of standard of care that it was a disregard of human life. look at dr. conrad murray. do you believe this man didn't love michael jackson with his heart and his soul? he didn't kill him. >>arthur: ladies and
12:19 pm
gentleman, despite mr. zelin's articulate and emotional closing argument what doesn't matter is whether dr. conrad murray is a compassionate doctor. what doesn't matter is if we proved to you whether he actually put the needle in at a particular moment. what matters, ladies and gentleman, and the fact that shatters all reasonable doubt, is that their expert, not our expert, their expert said he would never give a patient propofol in their own bedroom. and that, ladies and gentleman, is what we did. we showed, we proved our burden beyond a reasonable doubt that he was grossly negligent in the way he administered care to michael jackson and if there is one more fact you need to know, when someone is dead if you, ladies and gentleman walk into the room and someone you care for is dead would you call your girl? or would you call 9-1-1?
12:20 pm
>>shepard: that was impressive, i thank you both. who won? >>randy: i did. >>arthur: i was at lunch with a bunch of personal injury lawyers and they would love do have this case. >>randy: but not in a criminal court. >>shepard: have a great day. hang tight. a texas judge who took off his belted and used it to beat his disabled daughter is talking. he says it was not as bad as it looks. you decide.

12:23 pm
>>shepard: a judge in texas who handles child abuse cases is
12:24 pm
under investigation for abuse of his own daughter. the video is quite shocking. it shows the judge whipping his disabled teenage daughter. it has gone viral and millions have viewed it on the internet. and well show you a little bit of it. we are told it happened in 2004 but the daughter is speaking out today about why she posted the graphic video online seven years later along with a caption that reads in part "judge william adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgment as a parent himself, do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again, his judgment is a giant farce, signed his daughter." the judge responding to local television network, rather, station, kztv in corpus christi said and i quote, "it happened years ago and i apologize and it is not as bad as it looks on
12:25 pm
tape." you decide. tell us how this played out. >>jonathan: this is really difficult to watch the entire seven minutes of the video sew are being careful about what we show you, here is what is at the crux of the story. look at this. >> bend over the bed. bend over the bed. >>jonathan: there is a lot of verbal abuse of the daughter from not just the father, william adams, judge william adams, but, also his then wife, the mother of the then 16-year-old girl. look at this. are you happy? you caused it. you are [blank] you know i will not put up with it. you are a grown woman. >> one other point, the police in texas have just confirmed it is, indeed, william adams on
12:26 pm
that videotape and the judge, by the way, as part of his work actually hears child abuse cases >>shepard: does the daughter say why she is releasing it? >>jonathan: she was she is still being harassed and pursued by her father despite she no longer lived with him and she said that was the straw that broke the camels back and she said she didn't believe he was fit to serve and backed off that today in an interview on the "today" show where she said and i quote, "i think he has been punished new just by seeing this go public like this, and i think he just really needs help and rehabilitation. as for whether he can be prosecuted our own judge, judge napolitano, says these cases between, the question between discipline and child abuse is difficult. >>judge napolitano: it is not a black and white line between discipline and abuse and it would depend on the
12:27 pm
relationship between the child and the parent and what preceded this event, what immediately preceded it, and what preceded it in the long run. >>jonathan: judges in texas are elected so it may ultimately be up to the people, there, in rock port to decide if this man is fit to stay on the bench. >>shepard: thank you. you have probably heard the name solyndra, solar panel company that unbad through $500 million in federal loans and went bankrupt and now g.o.p. lawmakers have issued subpoenas to the white house. who knew what and when? and the occupy process in ocean land getting violent, a little bit, if small pockets. what is the under game here? and a larger stand off looming. my doctor told me calcium
12:28 pm
is best absorbed in small continuous amounts. only one calcium supplement does that in one daily dose. citracal slow release... continuously releases calcium plus d for the efficient absorption my body needs. citracal.
12:29 pm
12:30 pm
12:31 pm
>>shepard: this is "studio b" at bottom the hour, time for the tonight news. big development in the investigation into a solar energy company that received half billion in taxpayer money but still went belly up. the company is or was solyndra and it now is bankrupt. a number of republican lawmakers have demanded to know why the white house authorized the loans. today the republican-led panel in the house of representatives issued subpoenas to top white house officials who are stonewalling the investigation they claim, which several democrats have characterize as a
12:32 pm
witch hundred the maybe the republicans forgot under the bush administration they voted to put this through. they signed on the dotted line and now they are acting crazed about it. >>reporter: the house committee wants the republicans on it to see the back and forth communications from senior staffers probably the president's blackberry e-mails related to the loan to determine if this is a merit-based loan as the administration has stressed. the g.o.p. leaders on committee say they understand the president's e-mail could be covered under executive privilege they press for other communications from former white house chief of staff rahm emanuel, and senior advisor jarrett and larry summers and former chief of staff to vice president biden. the republican ahead said subpoenas of "lack resort." >> what we have seen in the course of this investigation is down right obstruction. the administration has touted the tens of thousands of pages of documents, most of them
12:33 pm
highly technical never mentioning that producing the documents was like extracting a tooth without anesthesia. >>reporter: republicans say the subpoenas will include a compliance deadline of a week. >>shepard: the white house says they are cooperating and have been all along. >>reporter: a spokesman says the administration has turned over 85,000 documents including about 1,000 from the white house. democrats say this shows the white house is acting in good faith and that the subpoenas will slow down the process. here is more. >> republican after republican today said the white house has refused to give us anything? that is just not true. >>reporter: the white house says republicans have chosen a partisan path here. >>shepard: thank you, molly, from washington, dc. this is sticky legal territory so we go to the judge, judge napolitano, our senior judicial
12:34 pm
analyst. lost in all of this seems to be, they signed all this, this was a republican thing under a republican administration, with republicans in control of congress. >>judge napolitano: here is where the republican congress and republican president did, they give the president the authority to decide where the money would go without giving the president standards so the republicans if congress, now, are not happy with the way president obama has exercised the discretion that they essentially gave to president bush. and they are using the power of the subpoena in order to find out exactly what went on. >>shepard: the republicans are calling this a witch hunt, rather, the democrats are calling it a witch hunt. >>judge napolitano: the administration, if the subpoenaed, it is voted by the house of representatives and served on the chief of staff, that is a valid legal document which he must comply in some way. he will probably have white house council, call the lawyers for the republicans if the louse and negotiate something and if they cannot negotiate and the
12:35 pm
white house takes executive privilege it goes to the federal judge, as pain stake will as it is will review all the documents including the president's personal blackberry e-mails in private, in secret, just the judge, and the judge will decide if any of this is subject to executive privilege which is very, very narrow, it lets the president of the united states keep away from the public or the congress or anyone secrets involving the military, secrets involving diplomacy, secrets involving sensitive national security matters and it is inconceivable that solyndra could come under those categories. >>shepard: it sounds like this would be a nice secondary story line as we move in campaign season up toward the election because it gives you "look at what they did," a distraction that works. >>judge napolitano: this is how that game is played. this is what they do. the new allegation that came out this afternoon, is that there is some e-mail that shows that the white house was considering a
12:36 pm
bailout as it went into bankruptcy, also, discretion that the congress has given to the president. we have given too much discretion to the president to spend money, and the constitution says only to congress, they can spend the money and congress says here is a couple hundred billion you decide how to spend it. >>shepard: the last one started a couple of wars and did not fund them and you said the same thing and it is not partisan. >>judge napolitano: whoever is in the white house does this. >>shepard: well i don't have an opinion on that but i will watch it. >>judge napolitano: you do remember when nixon was president, and his documents were subpoenaed, the famous supreme court and nixon lost. >>shepard: we all lost. nice to see you. we will watch for the judge on "freedom watch," week nights on the fox business news giving you the power to prosper. the most popular business news and here i tell you that. fox business news. right up the dial. and now the occupy wall street protesters and demonstrators in oakland, california, clashing
12:37 pm
violently with the cops again last night. and now, to san francisco, this shut some stuff down? >> the port of oakland was closed and officials say it is opening again and everyone should come back to work, and the port is assuring employees they are safe after what happened last night. up to 4,000 demonstrators blocked streets around the busy shipping hub for hours mailing good on one of the stated goals of the general strike there in oakland, and preventing contain trucks from getting in or out and big rigs were still backed up, and it could be some time before operations fully resume and the port can make up for the lost shipping. >>shepard: biggest protests since the vietnam war and those, the vast majority of those who are calm and trying to make a point are mad at the violent ones, right?
12:38 pm
>>reporter: they, very disappointed and angry saying they have damaged the movement's credibility, not to mention the damage they have inflicted on a number of small business owners in downtown oakland who claim they are part of the 99 percent, as well. and the oakland chamber of commerce says that the occupy oakland protest has damaged all kinds of stories and restaurants and their economic bottom line, that was happening before last night's violence, and the chamber says now, that many of these stores are likely to close or move somewhere else. >> restaurants in the immediate area of city hall plaza have lost all their business for the most part. we have had a number of tenants in the building, in the private buildings in the plaza area who indicated they would like to get out of their lease. >>reporter: the clean up is underway with protesters actually pitching in to help the early damage estimates running
12:39 pm
into the hundreds of thousands in downtown oakland. >>shepard: thank you, claudia the hundreds of millions are missing after the biggest wall street failure since the start of the great depression. where did it go? the details ahead. what makes scottrade your smartphone's most powerful trading app ? total access - to everything. from idea to research to trade. including financials, indicators and real-time streaming quotes. whether you check your investments every day or every minute, our app can take them from thought to trade. at scottrade, seven-dollar trades are just the start. try our powerful mobile app. it's another reason more investors are saying... i'm with scottrade.

12:42 pm
>>shepard: the former new jersey governor corzine is in a pile of it after half a billion reportedly went missing from the firm mf global. he ran that thing. and he filed for bankruptcy in large part because of bad debt on the young debt crisis. federal investigators say the balance sheets are short some $630 million of client's money. and the firm reportedly admitted to using money from the customer
12:43 pm
accounts to deal with its own financial troubles. and now to the associate editor of baron's, jon corzine's company, paid for the negotiation of his contracts on his side, they gave him $375,000 in legal bills. this man is in trouble, isn't he? >>guest: potentially. we have to figure out what happened in the last days when mf global faced the possibility of bankruptcy trying to sell itself and it is, the complicating factor is where could be missing funds be, hung up in other trading pans or bank accounts, and they were trying to dump assets over board to raise cash for themselves and customers and this seems to have been a breach in the wall street between segregated customer sundays and firm funds and that is sacrosanct a chief job of a firm you keep that stuff pauled off from the firm's funds.
12:44 pm
>>shepard: a breach in the wall sounds like it was just more of a soup there. >>guest: well, that is what we don't know, right? in the final days, all cash is fungible, the firms are financed by customers' deposits that you are supposed to keep segregated ones here and nonsegregated ones you can use. this was a $40 million balance sheet, but it is a lot of money. something is lost in the mix, and, you know, a lot of eye on it right now. >> part of the thing is you are supposed to have a certain amount of money on hand to cover the debt that you have outstanding, that is pretty bake, we all understand that. >>guest: it is basic although when the markets start moving and turning on you and clients keep running away at once, we all know about the run on the bank, the bank doesn't have your money sitting in a vault it has everyone's money plus a lot they borrowed against it, so they got caught in that trap here, you had trading partners call are
12:45 pm
for more collateral and in the scramble this got lost in the struggle. this will probably go quiet for a while as they try to figure out what exactly happened to the money, and it started out at $900 million, and $300 million turns up but know, it is not going away. >>shepard: we often find $300 million laying around here. thank you, mike. after more than a decade of war in afghanistan, well, there is, the administration is now considering a plan to end the u.s. combat roam there once and for all a lot early -- earlier than planned. >>reporter: a highly placed military source tells us the recent leaked reports that have been appearing this morning in the "wall street journal" and elsewhere this week, that the white house is considering an early shift, an early transition toward more of a counterterrorism approach that could lead to an early
12:46 pm
withdrawal of u.s. troops, and that is, in fact, true, and remember, president obama took off, wren he took office there were only 30,000 u.s. troops there as part of the nato mission and it has been documented in books like "obama wars," how the president felt railroaded into adding troops and adding the subject adding 100,000 under the circumstance and now those who sided with biden wanted special operations and counterterrorism and drones to fight against the taliban and they have the president's ear. >>shepard: the white house keeps pushing back on these stories, and this line of thinking. >>reporter: they do, publicly, on the record, take a listen to the deputy national security advisor this morning in cannes. >> if there is any specific timeline beyond what the president has already layed out, which is, we are going to bring
12:47 pm
10,000 troops out of afghanistan by the end of this year and we will bring 33,000 the full west point surge out of afghanistan by end of next summer. >>reporter: sources i have spoke to say they are not coming from the field commanders but the white house is requesting the pentagon to make lands in order to transition early to get the troops home early from afghanistan. >>shepard: thank you from the pentagon, jennifer. there is a case unfolding in new jersey right now that could affect everyone who uses the internet. the case involves a woman investigators say create add fake facebook page and posted, well, very nasty stuff about her ex-boyfriend. we're talking bad. we will break it down. we're america's natural gas
